His capacity to outplay at higher ranks is severely limited as his kit necessitates repetition — especially in a meta where popular champions like Athelios, Sett, and Graves (to name a few) can be very malleable and situatio
Since his debut in 2012, Jayce has been troublesome to deal with at top lane , and it all stems from his ability to swap between a melee and ranged form. When pressing R Jayce's Mercury Hammer transforms into the Mercury Canon, and with the right items, he can take off half of an opponent's health with one s
This is a frustrating champion to rework because, in theory, his kit is amazing. He has a silence, a knock-up, the capacity to get absolutely huge and unkillable, and he has the best skin in the game: Gentleman Cho’G
Bardle Royale (Classic): The 2 teams fight for survival as a battle royale circle slowly gets smaller on the map. Anyone outside the circle almost instantly gets burned to death, so champions with knockbacks like Poppy can quickly eject enemies for a
After a less than 1 second delay, Leona's Ultimate ability, Solar Flare, directly beams a target location with solar energy. Enemies struck by the center of this beam are dealt magic damage based on Leona's level. Enemies directly struck by the beam are also slowed by 80% and stunned for 1.5 seconds. Enemies that are within the AOE of the Solar Flare but have not been struck directly by the center are dealt the same magic damage and slow, but not stunned. This ability is best used when the enemies are in very close proximity to each other. Since its an AOE ability and not a single-target one, you can stun multiple enemies with the epicenter as long as they manage to be right on top of each other. Using this ability after Zenith Blade and Shield of Daybreak means that an enemy can be immobilized for a whopping 3 seconds, which is more than enough time for your team to back you
After all, it requires perfect timing and/or lots of team communication. In solo queue ranked play or even in normals, that kind of thing just isn’t likely to happen. Like Galio and Volibear, Pantheon also reveals how Riot prioritizes competitive play over average fan/player experience. The visual rework also gave him that "shiny" look, removing the weathered and worn warrior aesthetic he previously
Since Shyvana is half-dragon, Riot could try and give her a "Dragon Master" Ultimate skin, which could allow her to transform into miniature versions of the dragons that spawn on Summoner's Rift, including the all powerful Elder Dra
in Protect the Soraka, two Soraka AI bots spawn and proceed to the same lane, but the objective is to of course destroy your opponent's Soraka while preserving your own. Similar to Scuttle Racing, both Sorakas are susceptible to abilities, but instead, you will want to use crowd control abilities on the enemy Champions to prevent them from getting close enough to heal and protect their Soraka
Battle Sled: A respawning sled appears in base that can be steered by the first player that climbs into it. Other allies can hitch a ride by jumping onto the sled and everyone will explode out upon colliding with terrain or an en
Consistency is important in a MOBA Game tournaments, and while these changes are small enough not to notice, it could be problematic for Pokémon Unite to have characters rebalanced or reworked way too fast early on. If the game wants to change its poorer qualities, it needs to start on a good foot so that major reworks aren't urg
Pokémon games can be quite confusing in terms of how its stats function, with surprisingly little of it being properly explained in the games themselves. There are several different attack & defense stats and all sorts of other effects that that usually need to be researched online to fully understand, as well as how much certain items and abilities will affect each s
Much like Cho'Gath, Kha'Zix hails from the void, but he is by no means a tank. This giant praying mantis is an assassin who stalks the jungle, and he does this by jumping around and turning invisible for a t
Bardle Royale (Paranoia): It's a bardle royale, but everyone has the nearsighted debuff and can only see what's close by. Champions with AOE skillshots like Brand and Vel'Koz can fire away until enemies inevitably get chunked or kil
The latest additional game mode is the highly requested Nexus Blitz, which is kind of a mix of both ARAM and Summoner's Rift. This isn't the first time this game mode has appeared, but its back with a new map and some other fun changes. Unfortunately, the game mode isn't here to stay and is only in beta mode. It seems Riot Games wants to reserve Nexus Blitz for occasional events and is currently looking for player feedback on the fledgling mode. Currently, Nexus Blitz still has the same base objective as both ARAM and Summoner's Rift, but every few minutes there is a mini-game event that both teams participate in. The team that wins the event gets a random bonus of some sort to benefit their team. So if you need a game mode to relax with after some intense ranked matches, stay tuned and this guide will show you how to play Nexus Bl
